Honda Accord (7th gen) vs. Acura EL (2nd gen)
First post here. I've been looking around this forum and you guys are really knowledgeable, so I'm hoping to pick your brains a bit.
In July/August I'll be getting around 5-7k to buy myself a car. I'm a 3rd year University student and I want to buy myself a decent car. I've narrowed down my preferred options to the Honda Accord or Acura EL. Here's why:
- I owned a '99 civic and loved it, therefor I love Honda.
- I want a car with leather seats + sunroof.
- Japanese = cheaper parts (from what I've been told).
- Both cars are reliable and safe.
- Both cars are 4 cyl (I'd get a 4 cyl Accord), so they'll be alright on gas.
Note: I'll be buying automatic because I don't know how to drive standard. I'm sure I could learn, but for the sake of practicality, I want an automatic.
What are your guys' thoughts? Are these cars good and reliable? Any recommendations as to other brands/models I should look into that fit my requirements?
Cheers to you fine folks, have a wonderful day!
